Question

Lately I've been hearing a lot about 2012 - what is the significance?

Answer 1

Olympics

and basically some guys predicted the world would end in 2012 ( this was a lonjg time ago when they predicted it) and so people were all a bit like aghhhh but its not true and if it is then lets all party before we go:)

Answer 2

this is simply based on the Mayan calender, which ends on the 23rd (or some say 21st)~ December 2012

Answer 3

Some people believe that its the year the world will end...

I believe its the year the olympics will be in London :D

But seriously, I just believe its the year the mayan calander ends. When they came up with the thing, I doubt they expected civilisation to last out so long anyway.

Answer 4

some ppl believe the world is supposed to end in 2012 but im not so sure i agree with that...if you are a christian you are not supposed to think about the end of the world but for some reason so many christians obsess about it...

Answer 5

Its a load of rubbish

Answer 6

Since the question is in the myth section I guess you mean the end of the Mayan calender.

Considering these people could not fore see their over cultivation of their land (therefore leading to the collapse of their civilisation) I know there will be nothing special just because their calender ends...

Answer 7

London Olympics? Or numeral 2 is in twice?

Answer 8

the olimpics are held in londen at 2012 that might be one of the reasons. hope this helps :)

Answer 9

THERE IS NONE ----  

Answer 10

there's supposed to be a polarshift in 2012 where the north pole becomes the south pole and vice versa. supposedly the last time that happened the ice age started. predictions of it go back to the mayans and nastradamus. theres even something about it in the bible. the polar shift is going to happen but no one knows for sure what the effects will be. check out these websites i put and aslo google the word polar shift for more info.  

Answer 11

Wow! I don't know where the other answers came from but "d**n".

2012 is about he end of the Mayan calendar.

There is much debate as to whether there is any significance at all to the date. Scholars and theologians have predicted that it means every thing from the end of the world (by thousands of different means) to the idea that the guys making the calendars just got sick of making calendars.

So, there you go. 2012 is about the end of the Mayan calendar or the world. I'm banking on the former.

Thanks
